Can we talk about how smart Nikolai is? This mf managed to be Vice Justice Minister's secretary for HALF A YEAR!! Amazing actor. Plus he saved Sigma by using his ability to circulate blood. Which means he knows biology/meds/cardiology/cardiovascular system to some degree. This makes me wonder how Nikolai's life used to be before he became the Nikolai we know today.
I hope everyone can calm down now that the nikolai video has been released. Istg I lowkey got annoyed at how many people were nagging at cash for one acting like Cash also doesn’t have their own life
Lol, I think it comes with the package when you post yourself as a content creator. But it makes me happy knowing some people are more empathetic to my time than others 😭
Also one thing: (you may be talked about this but i didnt completely watch the video so) "Nikolai isnt smart" He is smart,he just pretends to be dumb. Here is an explanation: He was a secretary for a politician for 6 months. For that, you need to speak fluent Japanese and have a lot of knowledge about communication, math,social studies(?) and some like that. He also saved Sigma when he fell down from the casino with circling Sigma's blood. You need to have a good understanding of biology and the human body to do something like that. Meaning he has some doctor knowledge. And his memory may be very good too. Not every human is capable of doing that. He also broke into the most secured jail. I think that's really impressive,since it is the "most secured" jail. Nikolai also stole that potion and the medicine; for that, he probably did a lot of research to know where and how to find that, and he'd probably also have some knowledge about potion and torture methods because of what he did with Dazai and Fyodor and when killing all those people to get the ADA attention. And the thing/plan he did with his ability when he got slashed from middle/abdomen was impressive too. And him being watered down to "Thicc thigh gay man" is shame. He is more than that and has a interesting personality/interesting to analyse. And one thing: İs that he rather cares about the "idea" of Fyodor than Fyodor hinself. Because being unruled and free is like a heaven to him,"probably". He also thinks Fyodor understands him,but no. Fyodor just manipulated him. A bad fate for a good and interesting character. (english isnt my main language so there may be some mistakes.) Wonderful video,by the way.
@@Fyodor_able It's amazing. Though there are some parts that I have different opinions. For example Nikolai isn't pretending to be dumb. He is rather acting confusing and joking around. This misunderstanding is caused by the fact that BSD fandom simplifies duos as brain and brawn. Dazai is brain, Chuuya is brawn. Fyodor is brain, Nikolai is brawn. This simplification also causes many to think Chuuya is stupid. Which he is not. Both Nikolai and Chuuya are smart characters. It's just Dazai and Fyodor happens to be way more smart than average. About mersault, it had no much to with his intelligence. It was rather his ability. Again chainsaw trick was also his ability and maybe some magic performance skill involved. About the murders he used poisons, torture methods (sewing bodies etc) those were symbollic and I think ordered by Fyodor to do it that way. I don't think there is not "idea" of Fyodor in his head. Fyodor genuinely understood what kind of a person Nikolai is. Nikolai didn't interpret this as something else. Therefore there is no tragedy of loving idealized version of someone. Or else we would see a kind of arc where Nikolai realizes Fyodor wasn't the person who he thought he was. But instead we got a Nikolai mourning after Fyodor's death. Lastly you wrote "He thinks Fyodor understands him but no Fyodor just manipulates him." Well I disagree. Because Fyodor understanding Nikolai isn't something just in Nikolai's head. Fyodor understands Nikolai AND manipulates him. I think you meant emphaty or relating to someone here. Because yeah Fyodor isn't relating to Nikolai. Understanding someone doesn't mean you will emphatize with them and wont to anything bad to them. Other these disagreements of mine it's a good analysis. I love reading these paraghraphs long analysis'
As a fyolai shipper who’s spent wayyy too much time researching the irl Mykola and who’s had way too many realizations that fyolai is completely one sided and would be an incredibly unhealthy irl relationship THIS WAS AMAZING AND SO INTERESTING!!! Nikolai is such a fascinating character and your analysis was incredible. I’m so glad that you research the irl authors and their works cause I’ve barely seen anyone else do it! Nikolai is so silly and this analysis rlly does him justice, you fr cooked w/this one
This is the best Nikolai Gogol analysis I've ever seen. I agree with litterally everything you said. At this point I'm dying for him to come back in the manga.
This was super intriguing to listen to! I'm sadly not very media literate so a lot of BSD's hidden messaging flies right over my head. (Partly because I haven't read the manga or light novels, I would like to someday but college is very time consuming and honestly draining🙏) I'm glad I was able to actually understand your analysis
In 1852, after confessing his homosexuality to a fanatical priest, he was told to renounce literature, which prompted Gogol to burn the nearly completed manuscript of the Dead Souls sequel. The priest also said that to cure his “abomination” and cleanse his “inner filth” Gogol should abstain from food and sleep. Several days later he died of starvation at age 43. (So, I'm.. conmfused)
That’s blatant misinformation, as I said. The info you’re getting is from a surface level Wikipedia page. As I said in the video, I linked actually accurate articles, so please refer to those
Cash, it was so nice of you to include the part about Mykolai being Ukrainian and even calling him by his Ukrainian name, not many people do that. thank you for not just reading a Wikipedia article and calling it a day (many English Wiki articles call people who lived in the Russian Empire russians even if those people were very vocal about their nationality). as someone who was obsessed with Hohol in high school(like, I even had a framed picture of him on my wall), I love the thorough analysis of his character and how it was represented in BSD. by the way, fun fact: Mykola's surname (Гоголь) in English has the same transliteration as one of the names (now considered derogatory and is used as an insult) the russian government gave Ukrainians (хохол). fun fact №2: Mykolai called himself a hohol when talking about his nationality.
I’m really glad you made this considering Nikolai is one of my favorite characters as he’s so unique (Imo)! This is also really helpful considering I’m writing an AU and Nikolai in particular has been a bit hard to write for a few reasons, so this explanation video is a big help! :3
I was never good when it comes to figuring out the meanings hidden within subtle gestures, analogies and such. I keep on watching bungou stray dogs despite the people i know saying it's a confusing anime to them, it was confusing at first and i was planning to drop bsd after finishing the anime. But one of the many braincells i had submitted a suggestion to make bsd a hyperfixation of mine to my brain and MY BRAIN ACCEPTED IT. My sister keeps saying it's useless to buy the light novels and manga but what am i if i'm not stubborn? These type of videos has helped me alot, I've always had a knack for complex in-depth characters and it's such a sad thing for me to be unable as i previously said - the ability to SEE, as one might say it as observing. Thank you cashexist for helping many people - including me with these type of analysis. The video "How to succesfully ruin an anime adaptation" was such a big factor of me reading the manga from the start instead of rewatching the anime (since i've only watched the anime and the anime sucks AHH) and oh my god now i cannot live without thinking bungou stray dog for a second. I am amazed by how cool people are in this fandom when it comes to observing things and I was never a literature person to begin with, so thank you again cashexists for making bungou stray dog videos. Have a nice day and goodbye
I definitely need to reread bsd from scratch since I literally didn't know anything about Nikolai (sorry I forgot everything I read even though I'm caught up
I‘ve been so excited for this omg. You always have really well-thought and eloquent analyses that help me understand a lot more about BSD, and Nikolai is one of my favorite characters because he‘s really fascinating :) I that hope people bothering you about this wasn‘t too stressful though!
Help, why do I always feel like an entirely new being after watching your videos- Anyways, amazing analysis, I really should go pick up a few books and do some research. However, I need time and willpower for that (which I definitely don't have, considering that we have like 3 tests in the same week (send help. 💀)).
The way i inspired to study the real biography of Mykola because of BSD. I don't remember much now, but the conflict of interests, origin and morals broke my heart.
Oh thank god, I was just about to beg for a video on my favourite clown. This has made my day. Edit: watched the video and agree with every word of it, my uncle humours me when i read books from his collection and talks to me about the ideas i may have missed and commentary on society through comedy has always been an interesting topic. Gogol is a wonderfully written character and this documentation of his splendour brings me great joy.
I love this video so much and I love Nikolai a lot but this video also made me think of the vocaloid Fukase who looks really similar to Nikolai and has a similar personality based on what the whole fandom headcannons. Also I love the black sorrow in the bg
I think another work of note while addressing Nikolai's character is the real life work, The Overcoat. It follows a mild mannered man who after acquiring a new Overcoat has a whole new zeal to him, so when it is snatched from him, he becomes sickly and passes away and his spirit now wants revenge for the sake of his Overcoat. Now what is very interesting about the Overcoat is the use of descriptions of the protagonist's feelings towards it. The Overcoat makes him feel acknowledged, fulfilled. He feels different, happier. His repressed emotions and sexuality are now bared, even surprising him as he never experienced before. Even though he is isolated, the Overcoat feels like a companion. His behavior towards it possessive but gentle. It's as if he has gained a lover. Even though it's simply a non-sentient and unexpressive Overcoat, it is so beautiful to him, it becomes everything to him Since BSD characters are more focused on the protagonist of the novels and Nikolai is supposed to be Akaky, Fyodor probably represents his Overcoat.
ANOTHER CASH BANGER HOW DO THEY DO IT ?!?! i'm saying this again even though it pains me but fyodor's relationship with nikolai is exponentially more toxic and manipulative than his relationship with ivan... ALSO HOLY SHIT I JUMPED WHEN THE ANOMALOCARIS SHOWED UP LMAO
I was so tired and was literally thinking about how I hope Cash releases a new video soon and how cool it would be if I opened TH-cam and there it was Its 12:30 AM and I have school tomorrow, this video saved me from crying at school Maybe Probably HOPEFULLY
I really love Nikolai's character, he is really important to the plot, just like any other character as they're all linked together as you said. people need to understand that to get a story going there WILL be characters used to make another one shine, but it doesn't make them any less important if it's done correctly! Also I did some research on the author as well because I want to start reading his works sooner or later, and maaan there's really interesting things I found, it was fun, I recommend anyone who even thought of doing it just do it it's worth it, it's useful, it's fun, it's smash, I promise. Man I want to read about other authors too, there's so much to do, I love bsd
I LOVE NIKOLAI NIKOLAI MENTIONED NIKOLAI GOGOL OH MYV GOSHH Why is the author and character both so relatable this hurts another edit but he's so ETHEREALLLLLL SO UNIQUEEE I CANT DO THIS I LOVE HIM I WANT HIM TO APPEAR AGAIN PLEASEEEEE IM BEGGING ATP
Hi cash, may I ask you some questions? How do you analyze and what are the things you research most when analyzing/theorizing someone or something? I just need tips on analyzation and how to get better on it if you have some, thank you! Love your videos, I hope to be a great analyst like you someday!
If you want to analyse, the first thing I ask you to do is read the light novels and mangas from the beginning! There are many pdfs available online so it’ll be easy for you to get your hands on those. As for irl authors, there are many articles available online about them that I use, but it’s always good to ask around for more resources!
This might be pointless, but do you think the manga panel of Nikolai hugging fyodor hand is shaded grey to show the black and white mixing? It might not be the two ideologies combining but maybe it’s the regret and acomplishment from both that form the messy feeling and the only colour that can be used to convey that is grey?
Nikolai is my favourite character solely because he interests me so much and how I personally struggle to understand him fully though relate to a lot of his ideals and motivations. I also just really like morally complex characters (Nikolai and Fyodor in particular)
wait wait, wtf is the conflict about Nikolai being a clown or a jester? oh god, this makes so much sense considering the fandom. Did i hear a cover of black sorrow in the background? Thank you for the Nikolai video, i love the guy and he's the reason why i'm reading dead souls!!!!
AAAAAAAAAA VIDYOLARIN OKADAR IYI KI SANA ANATAMAM! HEPSINI TEK TEK IZLEDIM BIR GÜNDEEEE! BU MUHTEŞEM VIDYOLARI YAPTIĞIN IÇIN SANA NE KADAR SEVDIĞMIĞ ANATAMAM (BU ARADA TÜRKÇE YAZMAM OKADAR IYI DEĞIL ÇUNKU TÜRKIYE DE YAŞAMIYOM OYUZDAN HIÇBIR TÜRK OKUYOSA BUNU ÇOK ÖZUR DILERIM D:)
0:00 already screaming I’m so excited 2:40 WAIT HES NOT?? FR??!? bro I’ve been lied to so many times, and not just by BSD people 6:19 that hurts. that hurts so bad. oh god. 7:35 AHHHHH 8:28 oh I get it the clown nose is cause he’s a clown like how the blue tie was for Kunikida I get it I get it 9:34 hey no I liked Fashion Designer Cash. Regular Cash you have to be nice to people, including yourself, ok? 12:48 not unlike Dazai tbh 19:55 he’s going to die isn’t he 24:35 oh or not that works too. sure. Nikolai is lk one of the best side characters I’ve seen in any story tbh.
I reccomend the manga highly! Much more than the anime. Why? Because Bones studio(studio who makes the anime) misses the point of bsd in my opinion. They treat bsd like a shounen, not a seinen manga which bsd is. There's more explanation in one of Cash's videos!
No... stop.. stop making me to watch/read bsd and history of people. stoooopppp. Also, I am wondering how would Nikolai feel if he came to our worldand saw your video lol
Cash, I know you will probably never see this but I have a question, would you ever do an analysis on any other kind of manga, shows, books ect? Love the bsd video's but I'm curious if you would do something else in future and I'm sure your videos will be amazing regardless
4:10 I believe you mean the Orthodox church? Or did the Catholics condemn him too?
Great video as always, thank you for your analysis!
Yes, I’m really sorry about that! Mykola himself was believed to be Catholic, but the church was orthodox! Thank you for correcting me
Can we talk about how smart Nikolai is? This mf managed to be Vice Justice Minister's secretary for HALF A YEAR!! Amazing actor. Plus he saved Sigma by using his ability to circulate blood. Which means he knows biology/meds/cardiology/cardiovascular system to some degree. This makes me wonder how Nikolai's life used to be before he became the Nikolai we know today.
Real i wrote a Paragraph about this in the comment section. He is underrated
@Fyodor_able Imma go and search for it
Ikr he is so smart but his intelligence is underrated af
Yeaa
Nikolai deserves an Oscar
Regular Cash, editor Cash, Cashout Cash, fashion designer Cash...
Are getting our own Cashverse?
I HEAR BLACK SORROW IN THE BACK YOU'RE NOT SLICK
SAME
REAL
OML I JUST REALIZED
WAS JUST ABOUT TO COMMENT THIS I WAS LIKE HOLD UP
I hope everyone can calm down now that the nikolai video has been released. Istg I lowkey got annoyed at how many people were nagging at cash for one acting like Cash also doesn’t have their own life

Its 12:30 AM and I have school tomorrow, this video saved me from crying at school
Maybe
Probably
HOPEFULLY
WE LOVE YOU CASH!
Absolute CINEMA. Also i believe Fyodor and Nikolai are kind of similar to Jesus and Judas but I could just be tweaking
I really love Nikolai's character, he is really important to the plot, just like any other character as they're all linked together as you said. people need to understand that to get a story going there WILL be characters used to make another one shine, but it doesn't make them any less important if it's done correctly!

Man I want to read about other authors too, there's so much to do, I love bsd
sobbing because i zoned out about 20 times but enjoyed every second of it
AAA I LIVE THIS SO MUCH NIKOLAI IS MY FAV EVER THANK YOU
it's a good day when cash uploads (saved my soul from the crushing depression from Brett Cooper's comeback)
Peak just dropped 😼
I LOVE NIKOLAI NIKOLAI MENTIONED NIKOLAI GOGOL OH MYV GOSHH
Why is the author and character both so relatable this hurts
another edit but he's so ETHEREALLLLLL SO UNIQUEEE I CANT DO THIS I LOVE HIM I WANT HIM TO APPEAR AGAIN PLEASEEEEE IM BEGGING ATP
ILY CASH GREAT VID
THANK YOU I WAS LOOKING FOR THIS!!!
Yey! You did a vid on my kin :)
I feel so educated rn, thank you cash
Black sorrow in the backgrounf is amazing to me
HOOOOOOLY FUCK I DIDNT KNOW IRL NIKOLAI WASNT GAY- I FEEL SO STUPID RN 😭😭😭
NEW BSD ESSAY WHOOOOO
Ooo when u said you were doing Nikolai i didnt think it would be soon :0 Cant wait to watch this when i get back from school!:D
Hi cash, may I ask you some questions?
How do you analyze and what are the things you research most when analyzing/theorizing someone or something? I just need tips on analyzation and how to get better on it if you have some, thank you! Love your videos, I hope to be a great analyst like you someday!
If you want to analyse, the first thing I ask you to do is read the light novels and mangas from the beginning! There are many pdfs available online so it’ll be easy for you to get your hands on those. As for irl authors, there are many articles available online about them that I use, but it’s always good to ask around for more resources!
AHHH U POSTED IM SO EARLY I WILL BE EATING THIS NOW 😋😋
i hear black sorrow in the background or am i tweaking..
I’m gonna swallow this video
@ too real it’s articulated amazingly
i was just reading the manga rn i lowk dont wanna get spoiled but its a cash vid so i have to watch it
little known fact the stripes on nikolai's pants are actually the straight flag /j (good video 👍i liked it)
NEW CASH BIDEO DROPPED YAUOOO
This might be pointless, but do you think the manga panel of Nikolai hugging fyodor hand is shaded grey to show the black and white mixing? It might not be the two ideologies combining but maybe it’s the regret and acomplishment from both that form the messy feeling and the only colour that can be used to convey that is grey?
Ohhhh dear, I love that idea so much. Especially since, in that panel, his hat’s design is switched as if conveying his beliefs have as well.
A clown makes fun of itself, a jester makes fun of The audience
Omg I've been dying for Nikolai content, there is literally nothing abt him
THANK YOU
Nikolai is my favourite character solely because he interests me so much and how I personally struggle to understand him fully though relate to a lot of his ideals and motivations.
I also just really like morally complex characters (Nikolai and Fyodor in particular)
bsd AND alnst 😞😞💔 queen ily
wait wait, wtf is the conflict about Nikolai being a clown or a jester? oh god, this makes so much sense considering the fandom. Did i hear a cover of black sorrow in the background? Thank you for the Nikolai video, i love the guy and he's the reason why i'm reading dead souls!!!!
NIKOLAIIIIIII NIKOLAI NIKOLAI NIKOLAI
9:32 justice for fashion designer cash they didn’t deserve the hate 😔

THE BLACK SORROW IN THE BACKROUND? CASH IS ALIEN STAGE FAN REAL???
this is a gorgeous video, thank you cash for enlightening us !!
ALSO FYOLAI CANON !!!!!!
OMG I LOVE THIS SM I ALWAYS WANTED YOU TO MAKE A NIKOLAI VIDEO!
(Also Fyolai canon)
Omg, this is the first time I come this early😗
0:00 already screaming I’m so excited
2:40 WAIT HES NOT?? FR??!? bro I’ve been lied to so many times, and not just by BSD people
6:19 that hurts. that hurts so bad. oh god.
7:35 AHHHHH
8:28 oh I get it the clown nose is cause he’s a clown like how the blue tie was for Kunikida I get it I get it
9:34 hey no I liked Fashion Designer Cash. Regular Cash you have to be nice to people, including yourself, ok?
12:48 not unlike Dazai tbh
19:55 he’s going to die isn’t he
24:35 oh or not that works too. sure.
Nikolai is lk one of the best side characters I’ve seen in any story tbh.
he's literally me I'm sobbsing 🙏
5:15 No he was. I dreamt it
AAAAA NIKOLAI !!
Edit: Are you going to do an anaylsis on the chapter that releases in a few days? Also Fyolai is Canon trust me Asagiri told me!!
Yep, I’ll have the analysis up for the next one on time, hopefully!
I CAN HEAR BLACK SORROW IN THE BACKGROUND THERE.
I love you bro
What's the name of the anime/manga
Edit:
Nevermind i found the name
Anime: bungo stray dogs
I reccomend the manga highly! Much more than the anime. Why? Because Bones studio(studio who makes the anime) misses the point of bsd in my opinion. They treat bsd like a shounen, not a seinen manga which bsd is. There's more explanation in one of Cash's videos!
Yea he is Interesting
23:02 so real
9:35 peak mentioned....
I’m not 3000 years late 🔥
I'm way earlier than I'm used to.
7:06 woah he just like me fr
DO I HEAR BLACK SORROW?!?!?!?!?! IN THE MIDDLE OF THE VIDEO!??!?!? /VPOS
is that black sorrow I hear in the background😶 why would you do this to me
by the way you have no videos on your home page so it can look like you have no videos at first
heh. so ur sigma plush. huh.
9:10 BYE I THOUGHT HE PULLED OUT A GUN
Soup my sup friends
bsd misinfo is only second to blue lock misinfo
6 MINUTES AGO AYY
SO BLACK BLACK AS IT CAN BE -
OHMYGID IM EALRY I LVOE YUO CHSHAHS
No... stop.. stop making me to watch/read bsd and history of people. stoooopppp.
Also, I am wondering how would Nikolai feel if he came to our worldand saw your video lol
Cash, I know you will probably never see this but I have a question, would you ever do an analysis on any other kind of manga, shows, books ect?
Love the bsd video's but I'm curious if you would do something else in future and I'm sure your videos will be amazing regardless
I will! :)
I love bsd but there’s so many topics, fandoms, video games and phenomenons I’d love to explore one day!
@@Cashexists I can't wait your videos are always amazing!
Hiiii
WAIT WAIT THE IRL NIKOLAI ISN'T GAY????? FANDOM LYING LIKE KOKICHI
I'm so happy I vaguely understood that (My friend is a massive Kokichi fan and is the same person who told me about bsd)
FIRST
Vid sucks, fyolai cannon. jk! (Except for the Fyolai cannon) I loved this video, keep the great work!
